Keith Miller is a gem and has performed magic in my house now for many months…read more Keith has been doing this work for 25 years and his facility and expertise reflect his long time as a handyman. We have collaborated on many projects here and he is a maker as well as excellently being able to do every task in the realm of a handyman and more. He arrives promptly and prepared for the day. He can do it all and when requested to do something that has not been discussed has no problem with that either. He communicates thoroughly about each task and is fully flexible about how it gets done-he just wants to make sure I am happy with the outcome. I continue to be amazed at how many diverse skills he has mastered and feel so fortunate to have found him. Excellent pricing and so well worth his hourly rate. Thank you again, Keith.

We've been working with Nick from Sunrise Homestead on the design for a major remodel of our…read morekitchen and dining room, and the experience has been wonderful. We were drawn to his past work and trusted right away that he could bring our vision to life. Even in the design phase, Nick's attention to detail and thoughtful approach have really stood out. He is warm, approachable, and easy to talk with--our meetings have been collaborative, enjoyable, and often filled with personal touches and stories that made the process feel comfortable and inspiring. Nick has guided us through material choices with great care, bringing beautifully vetted samples and unique, locally sourced options for wood, tile, and finishes. His passion for quality and sustainability really shines through, and we've loved his creative solutions and ability to offer custom, one-of-a-kind ideas to make the space truly our own. So far, working with Nick has been both fun and reassuring--we feel confident that when it comes time to build, our kitchen and dining room will be even more beautiful than we imagined.

We had the pleasure of working with Nick on a relatively small rebuild/repair of our gate at the…read morefamily Russian River cabin in Monte Rio on a very high end custom home. Nick is a licensed general contractor and extraordinary carpenter with a great eye for detail. He is classically trained with a BFA in sculpture from University of the Arts in Philadelphia and exhibit buildout at SFMOMA. He checked all the boxes at our first on-site meeting and revisits. He was on time, on budget, an excellent listener and terrific communicator, highly skilled craftsman and problem solver, true to form with the best tools and matching materials, self-proclaimed nit-picky perfectionist, fine finish matching and all around nice guy. Nick is honest, quick to respond, perfect on the details, has very high standards, and is very caring and positive, gracious and modest. He used the existing design not reinventing the wheel and most likely would have improved the gateway design given the chance. Nick is an exceptionally talented contractor with many years of creative problem solving. To repeat, he has a great eye for detail and sculpted, integrated, seamless design with unique elements evidenced by his extensive portfolio. I never felt the need to micromanage him. He is terrific at remote site communication and management. We live in the East Bay and the owner is in Hawaii which adds a level of complexity to remote destination work. I stepped back remotely and admired Nick's process with timely before and after pictures. The end result was outstanding! We will definitely use Nick on our next project, very highly recommended!

As a new home owner, having to do stuff for the house is still quite an unknown journey for me. And…read moreso, when we had wood rot on our balcony beam replaced, I was not excited to get it figured out. I read many reviews on Yelp, and after evaluating many contractors, I decided to use Yelp's project tool to contact Clark Innovative. When you do this, you get responses from many other companies too. Many reached out before Chris from Clark did. I ended up making an appointment with one of them to have them take a look at it. This person began has contract biz recently... and he did not seem confident. The way he was looking at it, he was reacting in a way that seemed like it's a bit of a pain in the you-know-what job and said it was going to cost a lot. He was a nice guy, but he did not instill confidence in me that he knew what he was doing. (He never even sent me a bid) After that, I wondered if I should reach out to these other companies that responded, but my intuition was telling me to wait a bit longer. Clark did eventually respond with apologies, and made an appointment to come look. They looked at it and just the way he was acting, I could tell this person knew what they were doing, and they came up with a solution to just replace the rotted portion, saving us half the cost! (So yeah, I believe the innovative part of their name!) It was all incredibly reasonable. Dates were pushed back etc, because of rain and other things, but I honestly didn't mind it. Chris tried to be a good communicator, and even when he wasn't, I could contact him and he'd respond. He was just busy. Sometimes, you can just tell with people who is being genuine. Who wants to simply do a good job for you, without gouging you or ripping you off. We need more of these people in the world right now. I'm glad I listened to my intuition, and waited for the right company to do the job. And I will definitely use them again for future work. It's really nice to have a good contractor in our back pocket.

He put the light in, taking care of the existing ceiling so there would be minimal effects afterwards.

The five-star reviews this company gets are well-earned. I was a bit apprehensive that they may…read morehave gone out of business since all the other reviews are from 2018, but they've survived the lockdown and are still doing the excellent work that others commend. Everything about the work I needed done was first-class. I got an immediate response to my initial query, we set a time and date for the work to be done, and then I was sent an email confirming those details with a Google map identifying the location of my house. An opportunity, in other words, to correct anything wrong. The repairman arrived exactly on time, reviewed the work to be done, and had it completed in less than an hour. We had two jobs for him and both were done expertly with no mess to clean up later. I'm guessing they charge by the number of people sent and by the hour. Immediately after the repairman left, I got an email invoice with a fair and reasonable price for one man, working one hour. I've had trouble these past two years finding an available and competent handyman. No more! Toolbox is IT from now on!

The 1st and 2nd time I hired Kelly he seemed to do good quality smart fast work at a fair price…read more The 3rd time was a disaster. The quality and care of the work was totally shoddy, careless, non-functional and non- durable. The price was completely disproportionate. My friend who looked at the work described it as having been "phoned in" on a toy plastic Mickey Mouse phone with a fake rotary dial. One example- the installation of a washing machine drain connected only with duct tape and without a standpipe, so water leaked all over the floor the very 1st time the washer was used. Another example: Repair of a redwood gate using a piece of interior trim (not redwood and not waterproof). I wasn't sure how/if it was attached to the rest of the gate so I pulled on it gently and it started to come of in my hand. It was only attached with a few staples (not strong or waterproof). My mistakes: 1. I did not read other reviews, especially the one where Kelly responds to an unhappy client with "I know who you are and I know where you live". 2. That I let him do these super simple projects without me supervising and telling him not to use the wrong materials, not to attach moving parts in a wet environment with tape and staples and not to make the work disfunctional, weak and ugly. My bad.
